Well, that was always going to happen, I suppose.
Through this weepy, gin-soaked veil, I rememeber reading an interview with Milligan circa mid-Shade/Enigma (when he was, IMVHO, at the top of not just his game, but everyone's in comics, at the time) in which he was asked what he was working on next.
There were references to 'the novel';
To be honest, I can't see how the author of 'The Enigma' could underate himself in any way, but the stuff about Joyce and Hemmingway in 'Shade' is there for a reason.
Perhaps Pete's tragedy is that he once saw comics as a way into high art, and that he did get there, but that when he did, it wasn't a leapstone to anything much else.
I read 'Greek Street' for as long as I could, eight issues, I think, but what was it about? Geezers, hoes, etc, I guess, Greek myth, but, you know, Jesus.
I don't think he can be bothered any more, can he? |
